Manawatu Herald THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1920. THE SCHOOL BUILDING.
A GOOD deal of favourable comment has been passed on the local State school, which, in the main, is justified. We are afraid, however, that some alteration will have to lie made to protect the eastern class rooms from the heat, and to more thoroughly Hush same with fresh air. The windows are ample, but are too high to avoid stilling heat in summer. This can be avoided by letting in wide doors, as was found necessary to be done in the old school, and to make a complete job a wide verandah should run along the whole eastern side of the building, with access from the classrooms, which could be used for open-air purposes. A visit of inspection to the rooms yesterday convinced us that all the blinds ever invented will not make the rooms habitable during the heal of summer, except at (he sacrillce of the health of the children occupying this portion of the building. Our opinion in lion of the building. In the old school similar openings, or doorways, had to be let: into the eastern wall for (he self-same reason. This is a matter that the Committee should discuss with the Board’s architect.
